View Ask5: Healthcare Careers Beyond the Hospital with Dr. Maureen Kroning

Healthcare is no longer confined to hospital walls—and neither are the career opportunities. In this Ask5 session, Healthcare Careers Beyond the Hospital, we explore how the industry is rapidly shifting toward community-based care, telehealth, and population health—and what that means for today’s students, job seekers, and workforce development leaders.

Dr. Kroning shares valuable insights on emerging workforce trends, innovative strategies for building strong healthcare talent pipelines, and the growing role of nurses and healthcare professionals as leaders shaping the future of care. The conversation also highlights the critical skills and competencies needed to thrive in nontraditional healthcare settings, along with actionable ways educators and academic programs can better prepare learners for these evolving roles.

Whether you’re a student exploring career options, a professional considering your next move, or an educator supporting the future workforce, this session offers practical guidance and fresh perspectives you won’t want to miss.
